Here is what I have right now:

[code]
static
GtkWidget *gtk_my_dialog_add_button_to (GtkBox *box, const gchar *label,
                                            const gchar *stock, gint
response_id)
{
    /* create the button */
    GtkWidget *button = gtk_button_new_with_mnemonic (label);
    gtk_widget_set_can_default(button, true);
    GtkWidget *image = NULL;
#if GTK_CHECK_VERSION( 3, 10, 0 )
    if( !gtk_check_version( 3, 10, 0 ) )
    {
        image = gtk_image_new_from_icon_name( stock, GTK_ICON_SIZE_BUTTON );
    }
    else
#endif
    {
        /* add a stock icon inside it */
        wxGCC_WARNING_SUPPRESS(deprecated-declarations);
        image = gtk_image_new_from_stock (stock, GTK_ICON_SIZE_BUTTON);
    wxGCC_WARNING_RESTORE()
    }
    gtk_button_set_image (GTK_BUTTON (button), image);

    /* add to the given (container) widget */
    if (box)
        gtk_box_pack_end (box, button, FALSE, TRUE, 8);

    /* add the button to the dialog's action area */
    gtk_dialog_add_action_widget (GTK_DIALOG (dlg), button, response_id);

   return button;
}

extern "C" {
static void gtk_my_dialog_init(GTypeInstance* instance, void*)
{
// some code
#if GTK_CHECK_VERSION( 3, 10, 0 )
    if( !gtk_check_version( 3, 10, 0 ) )
    {
        continuebtn = gtk_assert_dialog_add_button( dlg, "Continue",
"yes", GTK_ASSERT_DIALOG_CONTINUE);
    }
    else
#endif
    {
        wxGCC_WARNING_SUPPRESS(deprecated-declarations);
        continuebtn = gtk_assert_dialog_add_button (dlg, "_Continue",
GTK_STOCK_YES, GTK_ASSERT_DIALOG_CONTINUE);
        wxGCC_WARNING_RESTORE();
    }
// some more code
}
[/code]

I am running currently KDE-4 on Gentoo Linux (stable). This peice of
code works when running against GTK+-2.24, i.e. I see
both label and the icon. However, when running against GTK+-3.16.5 all
I can see is just a text and no icon.

What am I doing wrong? Am I using the right replacements? Do I use it properly?

Thank you.
